Got up this morning with the plan of going to the local fields nearby to take some bump pictures of my 6 month pregnant fiancee in the snow. We got some good shots although they will probably need to be edited as snow is a bugger to photograph and has caused the pics to come out all grey.

Also noticed an annoying smudge on all the of pictures which has been traced to a smudge on the lens (note to self clean lens)

Working today and for some reason the theme to pinky and the brain (dont ask) suddenly came into my head which got me thinking about other stuff from the 80's, which then made me wish i was young again ahhh for the good old days

Once again saturday is here, the day i do my 10 hour shift. Most people reckon i'm crazy doing it but i dont mind it's only one day a week and it helps me keep on top of things with trucks and deliveries and where everything should and shouldnt go.

There are ways at work of basically going one step further up the ladder and i keep thinking is it something i'd like to do and is is something i'm able to do. I supose asking the right people for some advice is the way to go.

We have a thing called stepping stones which is a way to going from store collegue to a department manager. It is sometthing that does appeal to me but i dont think i'm ready for it just yet, maybe in another 2 or 3 years.

Went to visit a friend from work yesterday to see his new born (well 2 and half week old) son. Was really nice seeing him and made us more impaitent for may to get here so we can finally hold our own baby after almost 3 years of trying.

I'll admit the prospect of being a dad does scare me a little but i intend to grab the bull with both horns so to speak and get stuck right in.

spent most of last night lying in bed restless, so decided to get up for a bit spent an hour farting about on laptop trying to restore some programs and stuff and playing driver 2.

Finally got back to bed hour and a half later, managed to get to sleep until the hammering and drilling started from the workmen fitting the windows in upstairs flat. So glad ours were fitted last week.

Really hoping todays shift at work will be an easy one without any hitches although saying that i've probably just jinxed myself.
